Brain tumors caused by normal neuron activity in mice predisposed to such tumors
Seeing, hearing, thinking, daydreaming—doing anything at all, in fact—activates neurons in the brain. But for people predisposed to developing brain tumors, the ordinary buzzing of their brains could be a problem. A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Stanford University School of Medicine shows that the normal day-to-day activity of neurons can drive the formation and growth of brain tumors.
